If you’re a mom of a toddler, you already know the truth: keeping up with their energy is a full-time job.

That’s exactly what Waddles Playground offers! Toledo’s newest indoor play space is designed just for children 5 and under. It’s clean, calm, and full of fun, the kind of spot that feels like a lifesaver on long days when you need to get out of the house but also want somewhere stress-free.

10 Teen Approved Things to do in Toledo
Being a teenager is “hard”, “the worst”, ” brutal”, etc., to say the least!! And truth be told, raising a teenager isn’t much different than raising a toddler. And as a parent, raising a toddler, I mean, a teenager, you will be met with much resistance when it comes to activities. Here’s the thing: that resistance is their insecurities manifesting and projecting. Is it safer to just stay at home on their device? Sure. But that doesn’t help them become the person they are meant to be. As parents, we need to encourage and, at times, push them outside of their comfort zone.

Read more7 Teens/tweens, 2 Adults, 1 Island, No Ferries…our first camping experience!
I never understood it, shoot, if I’m being honest, I thought they were all crazy. What kind of a person volunteers to leave their climate-controlled home with a private bathroom, a fully stocked fridge, freezer, wifi, and all the modern-day accommodations they work so hard to provide their family and go live in the great outdoors for a week? To me that sounded like pure nonsense, borderline insanity. Vacations should require less work, not more. Why pack towels, air mattresses, sheets, pots, pans, coolers, etc.? Why not save yourself time, energy, and bug bites and just stay home? After an impromptu extended stay on an island with 7 tweens/teens, one brutal storm, dirty underwear, greasy hair, and legs you could play connect-the-bug bites on I think I finally get it.

The history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) is marked by significant episodes of persecution from its founding in the early 19th century through its migration to the western United States. The persecution faced by early Mormons involved social ostracism, economic hardship, legal challenges, and violent mob actions, all of which played a pivotal role in shaping the church’s development and migration patterns. However, the antagonism did not end in the 1800s. Today, persecution of Mormons continues, but it takes more subtle forms, including a host of literature, which includes things like the CES Letter. A summary of CES Letter is that it is around 80 pages of arguments against the Mormon Church. There are thirteen sections and many more subsections in the document–the majority of which are arguments against the history of the church.
